Liza Loop Papers at Stanford University Green Library


Introduction

In 1988 Liza donated 10 boxes of "stuff" to Stanford. Below is an index to the contents of those boxes. Stanford created the initial index and submitted it to the Online Archive of California so those who can physically get to the library can know what is in the boxes. HCLE wants to do more. We want a comprehensive index and to have the full text and images of all of these materials discoverable and readable online.

How can you help?


  • If you visit the library, please note down what you find in each box and add to the Guide below. (You will have to 'join' the wiki to do this. Send an email to info@hcle.org telling us who you are and the user name you will be known by so staff can approve your membership in the wiki.)
  • If possible take a snapshot of the item and email it to content@hcle.org
  • Send us your detailed description of the item including why it is of interest to you and what you will do with the information you gather
  • Become an HCLE collaborator and help us create an "exhibit" that tells an HCLE story about the item that will engage and educate the public.

Thank you, Liza
